Right, I don't care about anyone saying "don't get a tattoo" or whatever other carp you might spout, I'm not interested.


I'm after getting a tattoo, and I have no idea where to start looking for a good artist - I was given some links a while back but I found them very confusing :o as I didn't know what was good and what was bad.

I'm good for travelling into and around london to get it done so if there are any top notch (but reasonably priced - do not read that as cheap, I know you get what you pay for) artists that you inked people might know of that don't have a waiting list of a year or more then please let me know :)

I'm ok for researching myself too, but don't really know where to start.

Why not go in an have a look at them, i'm sure karbon will be able to help you with names and places.

I don't think anyone here is going to tell you not to do it ;)

Hehe, I know a lot of people here are inked but there are the odd few people everywhere that are vehemently against them.


I would go in and have a look, if I knew where to look :p

It isn't that people here are inked, they are respectful of other peoples choices :) have a look on bmeink at their list of london studios, should give you something to start with http://bmeink.com/bme-tatt-exp-loc-009.html some London tattoo stories here with the studios mostly mentioned.

i was gna say let him suggest someone as it's his neck of the woods so i'd trust either of those 2.


there is a studio in camden. few doors down from cold steel piercing studio but i really can't remember what it's called. i'll have a bit of a dig and report back.
